Ya scared me a bit thar AMX. half my fleet and a significant portion of my plant equipment came off E-Bay. I was afraid there was some Maddoff style rip off going on.
That said, I'm talking major bucks stuff. Not the dollar store items.
In truth E-Bay has gone from a bargain for the seller and the buyer to a commissioned exchange barn. Sadly, not near the bargans or the convenience of the old days. And the cost of using E-bay is up. Lot's of E-stores on the site.
